CI, confidence interval; EFS, event-free survival; HR, hazard ratio; OS, overall survival; SE, standard error.

*

For modal number and complexity, P values were obtained with the comparison of all factors. HR and P value in parentheses were derived from comparison with normal karyotype.

For chromosome subgroups, HR and P values were obtained by comparing particular subgroup with others and only P values < .1 are listed.

3-year event-free survival: 14.3% ± 13.2%
